Hi Chris, Thanks for the reply.
I am sure I have lucene-analyzers-common.jar added to my eclipse project. However, I have figured out a way to run it. I am not sure whether this is a bug or undocumented workflow for Snowball filters. Map<String,String> args = new HashMap<>(); TokenStream tokenStream = new StandardTokenizer(Version.LUCENE_46, new StringReader("Some text")); args.put("luceneMatchVersion", "4.6"); args.put("language", "Catalan"); SnowballPorterFilterFactory factory = new SnowballPorterFilterFactory(args); *factory.inform(new ClasspathResourceLoader());* TokenFilter filter = factory.create(tokenStream); As you can see, the key here is calling the *inform* method of the SnowballProterFilterFactory to add the respected language stemmer's class. This is actually the task of the *inform* method. The standard constructor of this class does not call this method as you can see below: /** Creates a new SnowballPorterFilterFactory */ public SnowballPorterFilterFactory(Map<String,String> args) { super(args); language = get(args, "language", "English"); wordFiles = get(args, PROTECTED_TOKENS); if (!args.isEmpty()) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unknown parameters: " + args); } } @Override public void inform(ResourceLoader loader) throws IOException { String className = "org.tartarus.snowball.ext." + language + "Stemmer"; stemClass = loader.newInstance(className, SnowballProgram.class).getClass(); if (wordFiles != null) { protectedWords = getWordSet(loader, wordFiles, false); } } looking forward for your feedback. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Snowball-filter-Error-instantiating-stemmer-for-a-language-tp4156882p4157057.html Sent from the Lucene - Java Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
